Plague Rat

From publisher blurb:

A rare and horrible disease exists in the distant corners of the world: Turb Mortu. Infecting its victim’s brains, it enslaves them to an insidious and aggressive hive mind. Forever seeking to expand its influence, the disease sends its slaves out into the world to spread their sickness.

Born from the rodent strain of the Turb Mortu disease, the Plague Rat is one such victim. While the humble qualities of the rat might make it seem like one of the weaker agents of the disease, the Plague Rat’s ability to quickly infect large numbers make it a potent and hard to quash foe. One Plague Rat isn’t intimidating. A thousand gnawing at your door, though? Even the bravest warriors might tremble at the spectacle.
